You know Arash, you might be on to something here. The pan wheel does not spin freely when given a quick push. It only turns with steady, constant turning of the wheel. Once I stop turning it, it stops. My understanding is, that I should be able to execute a whip pan by giving the wheel a push...

Oh that is a great idea! Thanks so much.

In terms of center of gravity I think I am actually right there with the Tango head mounted. When fully built my camera is about 30lb so in terms of weight the geared head should be on point too. I also own a Ronford-Baker F7 but I can already tell that the smoothness of a pan on the Moy head...

Thanks for the quick reply, Morgan. The MOY wheels attach with a very specific slotted mechanism and a captive thumb wheel in the center. I was looking for hand wheels that feature a compatible mounting mechanism so I don't have to have anything machined, which gets real expensive fast.

Reviving this old thread: I just purchased an old Mini MOY head that was used by Aardman Animations. It is in outstanding shape and has zero play. They used it with step motors instead of the wheels. I have no experience with geared heads and operating the pan wheel I am wondering if it just...

I am finally selling my camera. I hope it's ok to post this here. Sony Cinealta PMW-F3 records uncompressed 10bit RGB 4:4:4 S-LOG to external recorder, total operational time: 522h. I comes with Doug Jenson's 3-DVD training videos. Check out the auction on eBay...

Does anybody make these safety cables but encased in a protective layer of clear plastic? I think I remember seeing it somewhere. The unprotected cables keep scratching up my gear. Thanks!

Hey everybody, I am having a custom top plate made for my PMW-F3. I took the handle off and where it was attached the innards of the camera are exposed. So I am having a top plate made by a friend with a CNC machine to cover the entire top of the camera. In preparation I am having trouble...

Hey everybody, I need someone in New York who will order a LEMO connector for me and solder it onto my camera's (existing) DC cord for a reasonable price in a reasonable time frame. Do you have any recommendations?
